As you can see, for de_DE with EUR, the precision part completely misses, and I don't know why there are brackets for en_US with USD, because it doesn't look valid. I would think of a return value like "$-74.9500". If I'm wrong, please let me know.

According to unicode and google, the brackets are correct for negative currency values.

Can you provide some links? I haven't found anything by a search with Google. I think I have to argue with those links ...

I don't think the formatted value: -($74.95)) with double brackets at the end is correct value, so as for ru_RU there is no currency symbol is displayed at all - just negative value.

Fixed with r15607

I have only found out, that brackets are used for USD when it is used for accounting, but then you have to left the "-" in front of the brackets. For prices it seems to be -$74. Thomas, can you post those links where you have found, how to write those currency values?

Even when I try "-150 GBP in USD" with Google, the result is "-239.62500 U.S. dollars" - no brackets ...

Which version of ZF have you used for testing? In your first comment, you have pointed out that negative currency values in USD should have brackets and you have reverted your statement - and I'm confused now :)
